Hello, December.


Can you believe December is here?
Quite honestly, I am unsure as to what to talk about today!
Do you ever have writer's or creativity block?!

Now that I think about it, we have a good deal of stuff going on these days.

I am finishing holiday shopping this morning. Phew!
I cannot wait to share what I found for the wonderful women in my life after I give them out!

My sister-in-law ties the knot in 2 weeks.
I have designed and completed the wedding programs, I am just awaiting her final review. I also drew up her guestbook (tree for guests to stamp their fingerprints and sign their names). I will share both of those projects after the wedding!

I am trying out a new gym this month beginning Monday.
The classes are Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays - 3 weeks on, 1 week off. I am assuming (and hoping!) lots of HIIT will be involved.

Speaking of HIIT, I am currently obsessed with these YouTube videos.
My husband, my mother-in-law, and hopefully my rowers I am teaching yoga to are all participating in these workouts. We literally pull the YouTube video on the TV and workout for about 10 minutes per video. High-Intensity Interval Training ROCKS!

Neiman Marcus + Target Collab is available today here!!
Loving these high/low collaborations! It definitely makes the fancy stuff with the high price tag more accessible for myself and many others!! You shouldn't have to pay an arm and a leg for high fashion! Click here to check it out! My favorite is this Lela Rose dress! Hello, Gorgeous!!

I will be participating in a Blog Swap with The {Blessed} Life.
While reading my best friend Ashley's post this morning, I learned about this super cool swap. Now that December is officially here, we are reminded the holidays are fast approaching! Why not mix in a little gift swapping with other bloggers? This should be fun, people! Head over here to participate and join in on the Swap! 

Happy Weekend!

The Shoplift Drops Tomorrow!



So, life has been pretty busy lately! New jobs, new routine, lots of weekend road trips and family visits... Phew!! And now the holidays are upon us!! I do have some exciting news to share with you. The Shoplift is dropping tomorrow (Monday) morning!! Read on to find out how you can be a part of this new trendsetter community and maybe help a fellow blogger out! Feel free to leave comments if you have any questions for me!! Read on, my friends!

I have been working as a user of a new social media site called The Shoplift. If you like fashion and shopping, you will love this site!


What is it? The Shoplift is a site that allows you to create your own shoppe or store with items you wish to by. You can "Shoplift" your favorite Louboutins, a car, a necklace from Etsy, gear from Ebay, Christmas/Hanukkah presents, whatever!! Your shop is place that helps you save items you see when purusing the internet, and you can always revisit those items via The Sho
plift if you want to.

The purpose of The Shoplift... To help change WHO is creating the trends... in fashion and beyond! The places that we shop currently help shape the trends, but the founder and CEO of The Shoplift created the site because he believes the newest trends should be discovered and created by US.

More than anything, I want you to check out the site and see how you like it! I have been one of the first users for about 3 months now, and the site is finally going live tomorrow morning (November 19th) around 8am EST.

The more people I can get signed up and most importantly, to follow me, the greater chance I have to win this competition against the other interns! ;) Winning this means getting possible leads for internships and jobs in NYC and beyond in the fashion industry!! It also means being in the running to receive a bonus from the company!

Please sign up and follow my shoppe, "::Illuminated:: by Robyn" beginning Monday morning...

How to Sign Up:

1. Go to the website: http://theshoplift.com/
2. Click sign up and go through the steps including confirming your email address.
3. Follow me by clicking Menu, Follow, then clicking Recommended or Popular to find me. Then click the arrow below my shop images and once it is illuminated, it means you are following me!!
4. Enjoy the site and try it out, what have you got to lose?!

Please INVITE YOUR FRIENDS TO THIS EVENT if you believe they would be interested in the site or if they just want to help a girl out!!

THANK YOU, FRIENDS!!

Neon in Ad Campaigns

Neon is really taking control of the visual world in a beautiful way. Taking charge of full ensembles and being played against neutral fabrics, it is truly all the rage. We are seeing it on dresses, signage, home fashion, logos... NEON is surely to catch your attention!

Personality Pants

What am I absolutely adoring these days ? Patterns. Especially on trousers! Life is too short to wear solid color pants, don't you think ? And these patterns really perk up your day - they are bright and fun - especially for a cool, fall morning! Florals, geometrics, paint brush effect, damask - the opportunities are endless! I say pair them with a knit top or mix and match another pattern of the opposite scale, i.e. small pattern trousers with a large scale pattern top.

Friday Loves

1. If I ever crave candy, and I decide I need some, I discovered this "better for you" take on many of popular candies. UNREAL | Candy Unjunked has zero corn syrup, zero hydrogenated oils, and less sugar. Their mission is to "Unjunk the World" plus they have a really cool story about how they got started. Love it.

2. These heels from Zara. Colorblocking with a color pop!

3. This Pizza Salad Recipe from Health Bent. Finished up the leftovers for lunch today!

4. Oscar De La Renta's Spring 2013 Collection... Gorgeous silhouettes including this dream dress.

5. Pretty umbrellas for rainy fall days!

Legwarmer Loves

LEGWARMERS ... I can't seem to leave to the house without them... I don't wear them to work, but to and from the gym, yoga or even out in the evening... They are sooo cozy and will always be cute to me :) I'll still be wearing them when I am 80!
